2006 Chevrolet Impala / Monte Carlo Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2006 4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6
4-speed automatic FWD
Interior room is outstanding. Trunk room is phenomenal, especially with flip and fold flat rear seat. see full Chevrolet Impala / Monte Carlo review
2005 4dr Sedan 180-horsepower 3.4L V6
4-speed automatic FWD
Rear seat had good room. Passengers had good leg room. Only adults over 6ft would touch the backs of the front seat with their legs. Draw back was the low roof. see full Chevrolet Impala / Monte Carlo review
 

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2018 Kia Forte

2018 Kia Forte Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
2019 I found both rows of seats comfortable in the Kia. Outward visibility from the driver seat is pretty good, though the windshield is raked a bit much for my taste. Rear seat passengers enjoy a cushion comfortably high off the floor (unlike the Civic's) and a relatively open view forward. I personally have issues with the shape of the front seats in compact Hondas. Both their lumbar bulges and their headrests just too far forward. Try thoroughly before buying. see full Kia Forte review
